Property Tax in Peshawar (TY 2025-26)
Peshawar property tax guide TY 2025-26 — Hayatabad, University Town, and DHA Peshawar valuations, Section 236C/236K WHT, Section 7E, KP stamp duty, KPLIMS land records.
Peshawar property transactions face the federal stack — Section 236C 3%/10% seller, Section 236K 3%/10.5% buyer, Section 7E on properties above PKR 25M, Section 37(1A) CGT within five years — plus KP provincial stamp duty (currently 2-3%) and KP Board of Revenue registration fees. KP Revenue Authority (KPRA) handles services-related taxation; property registration sits with the KP Board of Revenue.
FBR's Peshawar valuation table places Hayatabad and University Town at the top — these planned-residential sectors command per-marla rates substantially above the inner-city, walled-city, or peri-urban zones. DHA Peshawar Phase I/II have joined the top tier in the most recent gazette. The provincial stamp-duty layer is collected through KP e-stamping infrastructure rolled out over the past few years.
Practical Peshawar-specific considerations: ownership documentation for inherited property (intiqal/mutation chains can stretch decades and complicate clean transfers), the slow but ongoing digitisation of land records under KP Land Information Management System (KPLIMS), and the cross-border buyer profile — overseas Pashtuns from the diaspora often transact during summer family visits with limited documentation windows, making ATL status verification at the time of registration critical.
Frequently asked questions
How much tax on a Peshawar property purchase?
Section 236K — 3% (filer) or 10.5% (non-filer) of FBR-notified value. On a PKR 20M Hayatabad home that's roughly PKR 600,000 (filer) or PKR 2.1M (non-filer).
What's KP stamp duty on property?
Currently 2-3% depending on property type, on top of federal 236C+236K. Collected via KP Revenue Authority e-stamping at the KP Board of Revenue Sub-Registrar office.
Are Hayatabad properties valued higher?
Yes — Hayatabad and University Town top FBR's Peshawar valuation table, followed by DHA Peshawar Phase I/II. Inner-city, walled-city, and peri-urban zones are substantially lower.
How is land record digitisation in Peshawar?
KP's land records are being digitised under KPLIMS — progress is steady but slower than Punjab's PLRA. Manual intiqal/mutation records still predominate in many tehsils outside Peshawar city proper.
